|---|---|---|---|
| 1pm CEST | ECSTATIC @ +200 (+3.5) | Cloud9 @ -277.78 (-3.5) | O/U 20.5 |
Both teams bring solid form into their opening match of the Major, and we expect to see a close game between Cloud9 and ECSTATIC.
Over 20.5 rounds
| Time | Team 1 (Handicap) | Team 2 (Handicap) | Over/Under Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1pm CEST | Eternal Fire @ -200 (-4.5) | TheMongolz @ +155 (+4.5) | O/U 22.5 |
Although Eternal Fire enters this match as a red-hot favourite, The Mongolz have shown improvement on the world stage in recent times, therefore, we will be taking the underdogs at the handicap.
The Mongolz +4.5 rounds
| Time | Team 1 (Handicap) | Team 2 (Handicap) | Over/Under Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2pm CEST | ENCE @ -188.68 (-2.5) | Imperial @ +137 (+2.5) | O/U 21.5 |
The betting says otherwise, but the ENCE vs Imperial clash has the potential to be one of the closest matches of the day. We will be taking the overs in the total rounds market.
Over 21.5 rounds
| Time | Team 1 (Handicap) | Team 2 (Handicap) | Over/Under Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2pm CEST | Apeks @ -250 (-3.5) | paiN Gaming @ +175 (+3.5) | O/U 20.5 |
Apeks appears to be one of the safer bets of the opening day, as they clash with paiN Gaming, who were one of the last teams to qualify for the Major. We anticipate a dominant win by Apeks.
Apeks -3.5 rounds
| Time | Team 1 (Handicap) | Team 2 (Handicap) | Over/Under Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3pm CEST | 9 Pandas @ -125 (-2.5) | AMKAL @ -111.11 (+2.5) | O/U 21.5 |
9 Pandas and AMKAL played out a close three-map series in the Europe RMR last month, with two of the three maps covering the 21.5-round line; therefore, the overs look like a great bet here.
Over 21.5 rounds
| Time | Team 1 (Handicap) | Team 2 (Handicap) | Over/Under Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3pm CEST | Heroic @ -357.14 (-4.5) | Lynn Vision @ +260 (+4.5) | O/U 20.5 |
Esports betting sites have got this one right. Heroic should dominate Lynn Vision here if the world number 12 thinks they have any chance to contend for the Major.
Heroic -4.5 rounds
| Time | Team 1 (Handicap) | Team 2 (Handicap) | Over/Under Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4pm CEST | FURIA @ -250 (-3.5) | Legacy @ +175 (+3.5) | O/U 20.5 |
FURIA and Legacy will meet in an all-Brazil clash, with both teams putting their three-game win streaks on the line. These matches are normally very tight, so we will be taking the overs in the total rounds market.
Over 20.5 rounds
| Time | Team 1 (Handicap) | Team 2 (Handicap) | Over/Under Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4pm CEST | SAW @ -175.44 (-2.5) | KOI @ +125 (+2.5) | O/U 21.5 |
SAW will put their nine-match win streak on the line against KOI, and we believe the favourites can extend that streak to 10 with a victory here.
